Those are some awesome finds. Any bust coin is very high on my bucket list. The detail on the half dime is great. Congrats.

Those are fantastic finds for anywhere. Those bust coins are very elusive. That site has some great potential for more. Congratulations

Hey Jeff, a bust coin out here is pretty rare. To mark one off our bucket list in CA is quite an accomplishment!! Good for Mark!!

I know I'm late, but that seated half dime is stunning!.
It looks uncirculated.

Great finds, I think I remember asking you guys last year what was up with the stealthy night hunting, red lenses covering your VDI screens. I remember you telling me you didn't want other detectorist knowing your spot? They are great finds, you guys are like secret agents, thieves in the night. I'm surprised the cops don't check you out, those lights would have to stick out like a sore thumb, even from a very long distance? That's an exciting video, a capped bust, seated, nice buttons. A dream hunt!
Congrats!

Kinda thought the same thing..
Somebody's likely got their 'screen lights' on video ,saying their UFO's or "Ghost Lights'.
